As the 2018 fantasy football draft season approaches, we will showcase a player to draft and a player to avoid from all 32 teams.

The Minnesota Vikings were one win from the Super Bowl last season but ran out of gas against the Eagles.

This year, they return most of their core players, except a new face will lead the offense. Kirk Cousins finally got the hefty, long-term contract he desired, and will try to help the Vikings get over the hump.

While defense reigns supreme in Minnesota, Cousins and the offense have the potential to ignite fans as well.

Here is a player to draft and one to avoid on the Vikings in fantasy football this season:

Draft:

Stefon Diggs, WR — Minnesota's miracle man crushed the Saints' hearts last season with a walkoff touchdown in the playoffs. Diggs had 64 receptions for 849 yards and eight touchdowns last season, and it still felt like a disappointment.

With Cousins under center, wide receivers should see an uptick in production. Diggs has the ability to play outside or in the slot. He could become a favorite of Cousins like Jamison Crowder was with the Redskins. Diggs is a solid fifth-round pick in all formats.

Avoid:

Dalvin Cook, RB — Cook, quite possibly, was in line for a Rookie of the Year caliber season before a knee injury ended it abruptly last year. Strong with the ball and good as a receiver coming out of the backfield, Cook has the talent to become a potent three-down NFL running back.

While that may still happen, Cook enters 2018 with too many question marks. Will his knee hold up all season? Will he earn goal-line carries, or will that fall to Latavius Murray? Does Cook still have the same explosiveness? If he falls to the sixth or seventh round, great, but don't reach on him because of his early form last year.
